The origin of Zhang surname

The origin of the word "Zhang" in Hundred Family Names is as follows:

Originated from Ji surname, from the son of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, belonging to the official title. According to New Tang Book? The lineage of the Prime Minister said, "The fifth son of Qingyang family, the son of the Yellow Emperor, wielded a bow and arrow, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang.

The descendants of the Yellow Emperor come from the surname Ji. According to Tongzhi? According to "A Brief History of Clans", in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Zhang Jie in the State of Jin, and his grandson took him as his surname, also called Zhang.

Changed by a given surname or his surname. According to Records of the Historian, Zhuge Liang of Shu gave Zhang the surname when Long, the leader of the Nan people, was taken by the Three Kingdoms, and later generations took Zhang as their surname.

Originated from the ancient Xi nationality, originated from the Xi nationality in the Tang Dynasty, and belonged to the emperor whose surname was given by the Han nationality. Xi nationality is an ancient nationality living in Tang, Song, Liao and Jin dynasties. In historical documents, Xi people are often remembered as Xi people and Xi Hui people. In the Tang dynasty, the Zhang family of the Chinese came from the emperor.

Originated from other ethnic minorities, it belongs to sinicization and changed its surname. Today, Achang, Naxi, Wa, Yao, Zhuang, Li and Gaoshan Zhang are mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan and Taiwan Province provinces, while Tibetan Zhang is mainly distributed in Qinghai, * *, Sichuan, Guizhou and other Tibetan inhabited areas, and the origin of their surnames remains to be verified.

Yuan Jueyi, the seventh son of the Japanese famous Silla Saburo Yuan Yiguang, went to North Korea in the second year of Yingde, that is, AD 1085, in order to escape the revenge of the orphans in Yuan Yiguang's murder. Yuan Jueyi, under the protection of Korea's Koryo Dynasty, took Silla as an allusion, Silla as a prototype, Zhang Baohao as a Miao figure and took root in coastal islands for generations.

Zhang, one of the top ten surnames of Chinese people in the world, is currently the third largest surname, with 87.502 million people, accounting for 6.83% of the total population in China. It is one of the three nationalities with the same surname in the world, ranking 24th among hundreds of surnames.

The origin of "Zhang" surname? The origin of Zhang can be traced back to ancient legends.

The legendary ancestor of all ethnic groups in the Central Plains, Huangdi, and his wife, Lei Zu, are the creators of the legendary methods of sericulture and silk grooming, and are regarded as silkworm gods by later generations. They gave birth to a son, whose name is very famous, and because of Taitai's practice, they said less, and he was the leader of Dongyi tribe after Taitai.

The fifth son is less famous, and the official went to Gong Zheng (the official who supervised the manufacture of bows and arrows). He watched the arc star at night, and saw that the attacking arrow nine planet was in the southeast of Sirius, shaped like a giant bow in the sky, and the arrow was facing Sirius, so he was inspired by it and made a bow and arrow, giving him the surname Zhang. The original meaning of the word Zhang is to bow, and it is extended to bow and longbow, which is closely related to the official name Gong Zheng and the ancient star name Arc.

Zhang also has a surname based on the name of his ancestors. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Zhang Hou in the State of Jin, named Zhang Jie. Later, he took the word grandfather as his surname. Since then, the state of Jin has a surname of Zhang. In 403 BC, after Zhao, Han and Wei carved up the State of Jin, Zhang's population was also scattered in three vassal states.

Exploring the origin of Zhang's surname. The origin of Zhang mainly includes:

1, from Ji:

(1) from the ancient yellow emperor Sun Hui, belongs to the official title as the surname. This Zhang family originated in Qingyang (that is, Qingyang in the east of Qinghe County, Hebei Province) and is a family. There is a folk saying that "Zhang's surname stays in Qinghe in the world".

(2) from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor Ji surname, genus word for surname. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the State of Jin named Zhang, also known as Zhang.

2, from the change of surname:

(1) from NieShi. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao, a general of Wei, was originally named Nie, but his family changed his surname to Zhang to avoid resentment, and his descendants also took Zhang as their surname.

Give your own surname. Dragon, the leader of Nanman, lived in Yunnan. Zhuge Liang of Shu gave him the surname Zhang in the Three Kingdoms, and later generations took Zhang as their surname.

③ Originated from Gu Xi nationality. Zhang Zhongzhi, a native of Xi, now lives in Fanyang. Because he was good at riding and shooting, he was adopted as his adopted son by the prefect of Fan Yang, and his adoptive father's surname was Zhang. After Zhang Zhongzhi repeatedly made meritorious military service, he was appointed as Zhao Guogong by the Ministry of Rites.

(4) Surnames from ethnic minorities. In ancient times, some ethnic minorities, such as Wuhuan, Jurchen, Anta, Xianbei, Xiongnu and Qidan, changed their surnames to Zhang. Today, Achang, Naxi, Wa, Yao, Zhuang, Li, Gaoshan, Tibetan, and more than a dozen Manchu surnames, such as Hersekhara, Zardari, Zhangjiashi, Zhang Jinshi, Zakuta and Aiyi, have all changed their surnames to Zhang.

The origin of the surname? China people's surnames have a long history. It is said that they originated from Archaean matriarchal clan society, and Fu began to take their surnames as his own surnames. However, surnames and surnames in the pre-Qin period are two different concepts. Surnames originated from matriarchal clan society and are the names of the same clan group, while surnames are branches of surnames, which indicate the names of tribal branches and are used to distinguish future generations. Due to population explosion, relocation, changes in identity skills, etc. Some tribes can be divided and these tribes are clans. History is the representative and title of the aristocratic clan system. Before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, most men were called Shi. Women often call their surnames, such as Confucius, so they are surnames. Kong is the surname, Qiu is the first name. Because men call them by their surnames, they are called Kong Qiu, not Qiu Zi.

Surnames mainly come from four aspects:

First, from the land and surname, the son of heaven is the person who gives the surname Ming. The Yellow Emperor created twelve surnames for his twenty-five sons. The history of Tao Tang was later sealed in Liu Di, and his descendants took Liu Wei's surname.

The second is to take the place of birth as the surname. The Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Jishui, so he took Ji as his surname.

Third, surnames are titles and official positions. Wang Shaozi of Chuzhuang became an official doctor, and his descendants took the official as their surname.

The fourth is to get a surname because of something or other reasons.

Tian, the prime minister of the Han dynasty, was old, and he was called the prime minister of the car when he went in and out by car. Later generations took the car as their surname. Ge is an ancient surname, originally from Langya counties, and later moved to Yang Du, where there used to be a Ge, and then moved to another Ge. Therefore, when there were more people surnamed Ge, they called them Zhuge to show the difference, and from then on, there was Zhuge's compound surname.

Due to the development of tribes and the doubling of population, the names of surnames have gradually increased. A surname can be divided into many surnames, and a surname breeds more surnames, so surnames are not fixed. In fact, the unification or basic stability of surnames began in the Han Dynasty. Shortly after Qin destroyed the six countries, Han unified the world. As an important symbol of maintaining the patriarchal clan system of the Zhou royal family, the system of distinguishing surnames also died with the complete collapse of the royal family. At this point, China people's surnames are combined into one, not surnames, surnames, or both. Actually, they all take male surnames instead. This shows that all future generations are descendants of male surnames, just as Gu said in Rizhilu in the Ming Dynasty: people below the Warring States period take their surnames as surnames, and surnames since the Yellow Emperor are all dead. Surnames began to be mixed from Taishigong, and surnames became a bond to maintain tradition and a symbol to unite clans. Therefore, respecting and honoring ancestors has become a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it is also a guarantee for safeguarding the reunification of the motherland. It's hard to imagine a China person becoming a patriot if he doesn't even love and respect his tenants and his parents.

Today, foreigners from China who have migrated to other places for hundreds of thousands of years are still obsessed with their motherland, ancestral home and ancestors, and often come to China to seek roots and worship their ancestors. Their genealogy is also clearly recorded, for example, the genealogy of Harada family, a descendant of Liu Bang in Japan: the lineage of Emperor Gaozu, what exists in a strict sense, can be obtained even if you don't want to cry, and you miss the country of China since the Han Dynasty. It's been more than 2400 years, and it's been a long time since I confessed to the thirteenth and fourteenth dynasties. In the meantime, the two countries had ups and downs, but they both longed for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. They often miss the old country where our ancestors ruled the country, and they are eager to avoid the forbidden area. So they published their own genealogy, which is the basis of their genealogy and reported the virtue of Emperor Gaozu.

According to legend, the earliest origin of surnames is related to the totem worship of primitive people. Clan tribes not only worship totem as a god, but also regard it as the unified clan name. In primitive tribes, totem, clan name and ancestor name are often the same. Over time, the name of totem has evolved into the symbol of all members of the same clan-surname. There are many legends about the evolution of totem into surname. According to textual research, the monarch of Yelang Kingdom is the king of bamboo, and the subjects take bamboo as their totem, and their surname is bamboo. According to historical records, there were foxes and snakes in Jin, dogs in Han, wolves and deer flags in Three Kingdoms and leopards in Three Kingdoms. Through these strange names and surnames with the same names as animals and plants, such as Luo, tiger, ant, cow, sheep, bird, dragon, bamboo, dragon, tea and chrysanthemum, we can vaguely see the indelible historical imprint of totem worship on the origin of surnames.

The formation of surnames is not only closely related to totems, but also closely related to women. Archaeological data show that there are less than 30 surnames in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but most of them come from women, such as Jiang, Yao, Si, Ji, Wa, maid, pregnant, concubine, kindness and win. Not only ancient surnames are mostly related to the word "female", but even the word "surname" itself comes from female ...

There are three main sources of Zhang:

First, from the Yellow Emperor, waving is the ancestor.

According to New Tang Book? The genealogy of the Prime Minister shows: "The five sons of Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, wielded bows and arrows, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang." This Zhang clan was directly handed down by the Yellow Emperor, which originated in Qingyang near Jinci in the southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and later in this area.

Zhang surname is an ancient surname, which originated from a distant legendary era. It is said that Zhang's ancestor's name was Hua. He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor (the son of the Yellow Emperor) and a great inventor. He invented the bow and arrow and the net. Bows and arrows and nets, as new production tools at that time, enabled people to hunt more birds and animals, catch more fish and shrimp, and reduce the harm of wild animals to themselves. The clan and tribe to which Bo belongs have produced bows and arrows and fishing nets for generations, so his descendants take "Zhang" as their surname.

The Yellow Emperor is Zhang's recognized blood ancestor and the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance in the ancient legend era. He ruled the world with virtue, benevolence, faith, selecting talents and appointing talents, and severely punishing stubborn killers, creating a prosperous time of singing and dancing.

According to The Emperor's Century, the Yellow Emperor was born because his mother had a treasure attached to her. "(The Yellow Emperor) was born in Shouqiu, Jishui, Dede, Bear, and lives in the hill of Xuanyuan, so he thought it was a name because he was pregnant for 24 months." Based on this, later generations deduced two kinds of legends.

One legend is that the Yellow Emperor was born when the Emperor of Heaven came down to earth. At that time, it was the Shennong era. Uncle Shennong has a son named Shaodian, who is the monarch of Xiongguo (in Xinzheng County, Henan Province). At that time, Shaodian clan was intermarrying with Youqiao clan. So Shaodian married Fu Bao, the daughter of the F family. One day, Shao Dian and Fu Bao went to work in the fields with wooden stakes. As they walked, it suddenly became dark and the sky was full of stars, just like at night. At this moment, Fu Bao looked up and saw a shining lightning revolving around the Big Dipper from time to time like a snake. In an instant, the field was covered with rich green light. Soon, Fu Bao only felt something move suddenly in her stomach, which scared her to make a hullabaloo about. Shaodian hurried back to ask questions, but she said nothing. After that, Fu Bao got pregnant. From the day of pregnancy, 24 months later, that is, one day in the third year, Fu Bao gave birth to a boy in Xuanyuan Mountain, northwest of Xinzheng (in Qufu, Shandong). Because I was born in Xuanyuan, I named my child Xuanyuan. Legend has it that Xuanyuan is born to talk and is very elf. When he was a child, he saw someone building a house on a tree and said, "Building a house on a tree is neither convenient nor safe. Wouldn't it be better to build a house on the ground? " Soon, Shennong heard about this view of the Yellow Emperor, which greatly disappointed him. So the Yellow Emperor built a house on the ground for him to see, and Shennong was convinced.

Another legend is that Fu Bao and Shao Dian moved to Shouqiu in Qufu, Shandong Province shortly after they got married. One early winter night, Attached Bao went to the suburbs for a walk alone. She looked up at the starry sky and was homesick. Suddenly, a silver-white lightning appeared in the sky, turned around the pivot star in the Big Dipper several times, and then quickly disappeared from the sky to the ground. At this time, the surprised attached treasure suddenly felt a strange feeling on her. After a while, she realized that she was pregnant by lightning. Then, 24 months later, one day in the winter of the third year, the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu. The newly born Yellow Emperor has a raised forehead, shaped like the sun, and a dragon's face. Its hands and feet are also like the claws and toes of a dragon. Stranger still, the Yellow Emperor has four faces. It is said that the Yellow Emperor can look around anytime and anywhere, listen to all directions, observe and understand everything, so as to better cooperate with the camera. The Yellow Emperor was born babbling and could walk soon. He left Shouqiu at the age of ten, studied under his teacher, and traveled around famous mountains and rivers.

Huangdi lived in the primitive clan commune era. At that time, the social structure of China was represented by clans-tribes composed of several clans-tribal alliances composed of several tribes. Clans, tribes and tribal alliances often have wars for their own interests. At first, the Yellow Emperor was only the leader of the tribe named Ji. In the long-term campaign, he gradually established his prestige, and finally completed the rule of other tribes and sat on the throne of the tribal alliance leader.

The wars with Emperor Yan, Chiyou and Xingtian were three milestones of Huangdi's road to leadership. According to the literature, Huang Heyan is a brother. Today: "In the past, Shaodian married Youjiao and gave birth to Huangdi and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor took Ji as his concubine ... >>

The origin of Zhang Zi. Zhang is an pictograph, and he looks like a person who is eager to make a move.

Zhang, a traditional Chinese character with eyes, consists of a bow and a long left and right side. When people surnamed Zhang introduce their surnames to others, they all say "bow", which shows that they attach great importance to the "bow" in surnames. From the perspective of philology, "bow" is also the core of the word "Zhang".

Zhang Zi was not found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but there are many inscriptions on bronzes and stone tools, and their writing styles are also different. Although these words are written in different ways, they have a basic feature, that is, they cannot be separated from bows, arrows and lengths, especially bows. It can be said that without a bow, there is no Zhang. Judging from the evolution of glyphs, Zhang was originally a combination of bows and arrows. Bow and arrow are naturally combined into one. Where there is a bow, there must be a target, which need not be emphasized. So the arrow gradually withdrew and gave way to the longbow, and finally stabilized into a longbow complex. A long bow means that this bow is more powerful than an ordinary bow.

Zhang Zi has many meanings. The New Chinese Dictionary has 2 1 meaning, and the general dictionary has more than ten meanings such as exaggeration, openness, strength, fullness, posting, reading, hope, expansion and arrangement. But most of them come from later generations, and the earliest dictionaries have few meanings. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Zhang, bow string is also. From the bow, long sound. " Guangya? Interpretation 3: "Zhang," There is another meaning, which can be found in Zhou Li? Qiu Guan: "Luo takes the birds and beasts and says Zhang." Hu Sansheng in notes "history as a mirror? After Emperor Hanming's seven years of peace, he said that "hard work is not a good book": "Zhang, set it up, set it up as a machine to catch birds and animals. "

The genealogy of the Prime Minister shows: "The five sons of Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor, wielded bows and arrows, and later generations gave him the surname Zhang." This Zhang clan was directly handed down by the Yellow Emperor, which originated in Qingyang near Jinci in the southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and later in this area.

Zhang surname is an ancient surname, which originated from a distant legendary era. It is said that Zhang's ancestor's name was Hua. He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor (the son of the Yellow Emperor) and a great inventor. He invented the bow and arrow and the net. Bows and arrows and nets, as new production tools at that time, enabled people to hunt more birds and animals, catch more fish and shrimp, and reduce the harm of wild animals to themselves. The clan and tribe to which Bo belongs have produced bows and arrows and fishing nets for generations, so his descendants take "Zhang" as their surname.

The Yellow Emperor is Zhang's recognized blood ancestor and the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance in the ancient legend era. He ruled the world with virtue, benevolence, faith, selecting talents and appointing talents, and severely punishing stubborn killers, creating a prosperous time of singing and dancing.

According to The Emperor's Century, the Yellow Emperor was born because his mother had a treasure attached to her.

So Shaodian married Fu Bao, the daughter of (Bug Joe). One day, Shao Dian and Fu Bao went to work in the fields with wooden stakes. As they walked, it suddenly became dark and the sky was full of stars, just like at night.

Soon, Fu Bao only felt something move suddenly in her stomach, which scared her to make a hullabaloo about. Shaodian hurried back to ask questions, but she said nothing. After that, Fu Bao got pregnant. From the day of pregnancy, 24 months later, that is, one day in the third year, Fu Bao gave birth to a boy in Xuanyuan Mountain, northwest of Xinzheng (in Qufu, Shandong). Because I was born in Xuanyuan, I named my child Xuanyuan. Legend has it that Xuanyuan is born to talk and is very elf. When he was a child, he saw someone building a house on a tree and said, "Building a house on a tree is neither convenient nor safe. Wouldn't it be better to build a house on the ground? " Soon, Shennong heard about this view of the Yellow Emperor, which greatly disappointed him. So the Yellow Emperor built a house on the ground for him to see, and Shennong was convinced.
